The report acknowledges that as China's population is four times the United States while its productivity is about a fifth, China would only have to increase its productivity by more than 25% over a period to claim the top slot. However, "...another path is possible. Stalled reforms, fraying global ties, shrinking workforce and financial crisis could keep China indefinitely in second place."
